> Oddly enough my partition is also /dev/hda6 Unfortunately I have also some bad blocks on /dev/hda5. Same problem.
Trying to fix the problem without "-c" parameter (e.g. fsck /dev/hda6) is giving me at one point the expected output (Buffer IO error...) when trying to read from the bad sectors. Usually without "-c" parameter it will not be able to mark bad blocks and fsck will not be aware of them. -- "fsck -c" on a HDD with bad sectors (ubuntu feisty herd 3) https://launchpad.net/bugs/83848 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
